Overview
Set within Melbourne’s prestigious 80 Collins precinct, Society is an ultra-luxe dining venue that redefines what modern fine dining looks and feels like. Created by Chris Lucas (of Chin Chin and Grill Americano fame), Society is more than just a restaurant—it’s a curated experience of taste, design, and theatre.
The venue’s centrepiece is the Society Dining Room, an expansive and dramatically styled space defined by polished stone, plush textures, and architectural flair. Every detail—from the custom cutlery to the ambient lighting—contributes to a sense of occasion and prestige.
The menu is rooted in modern European technique with a strong Australian sensibility. Expect elegant starters like Sydney rock oysters and caviar, followed by signature dishes such as truffle risotto, aged duck breast, and perfectly grilled meats. Vegetarian dishes are equally considered, and seasonal produce drives the kitchen’s evolving creativity. The extensive wine list includes rare vintages, boutique producers, and sommelier-led pairings that elevate each course.
For something more relaxed, The Lounge at Society offers a plush setting for cocktails, snacks, and lighter meals—ideal for a pre-theatre bite or after-work indulgence. Multiple private dining rooms and tailored group menus also make Society a standout destination for events and corporate dining.
Service is seamless and attentive, with staff trained to deliver high-end hospitality in a warm, approachable way. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply indulging in Melbourne’s most luxurious dining offering, Society delivers glamour, substance, and unforgettable detail.
